GLOVE-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,842, dated May 30, 1882. Application tiled November 2, 1881. (Modei.)

y .To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, JULIUs WoDIsKA, of New York, in the county and State otl New York, have invented an Improved Glove-Fastener, of which the following is a specification.

Figure lis a face view, on an enlarged scale, of part ot' a glove having my improved fast# ener. Fig. 2 is a detail cross-section on the line c c, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a detail cross-section ou the line 7c k, Fig. l; and Fig. 4is an edge view, partly in section, ot' the glove-fastener.

The main object of this invention is to pro vide a glove with an ornamental locking and unfasteningdeviee by means of which it can be closed on the arm or wrist, and which locking device is to be conveniently removable from the glove and readily attachable to another glove, one of my objects being to provide a costly fastening that can be made of gold or other expensive material, and which, when the glove is worn out, maybe easily removed therefrom by the owner and attached to another glove.

My invention consists of a fastening which is hereinafter more fully described.

In the accompanyingdrawings,Arepresents apiece ot' a glove having the usual slit or openingfa. At both sides of this slit or opening are plates AB C, made of gold or other morel or less costly material, and made ot' ornamental form. Each of these plates has small holes through it, as shown at b b, the holes being arranged in pairs-that is, the two holes of a pair being near together-so that the owner of the glovecan easily stitch the plates B G to the glove, and, when the latter is worn, separate the plates again therefrom.

To the plate B is secured a spring-latch, d, having a projecting button, and in the plate C is a socket, e, to receive that spring-latch, as is more clearly indicated in Fig. 3. The upper part ot' Fig. l shows the plates B and C with but one such spring-latch and socket; but the lower part of Fig. l shows plates B and C in which the plate B has two spring-latches and the plate C two corresponding sockets, which arrangement is preferable for gloves that extend far up the arms. Instead of having two spring-latches, or a larger number, on the plate B, and none on the plate C, I may have one or more on the plate B and olle or more on the plate C, it' desired. For a long fastening-such as that shown-I use in addition to said latches an arrangement for throwing the plates apart when they are to be unlocked. This arrangement consists oi' a pin,f, projecting from the edge of the plate B into a socket, g, or recess, that is cut into the plate G, in which recess there is avspring, h, all as shown more clearly in Fig. 2. When the glove is fastened the sprin gh is contracted by the pinf;

but when the buttons ot' the latches d d are I pressed down the spring h will exert its power and throw the plates apart, thus assistingthe user in opening or unfastening the glove.

I claim- The plates B G, having locking-latches d and sockets e, in combination with the pin f and spring h, which spring is contained in the recess g, substantially as specified.

, JULIUS WODISKA.
